Not to give the wrong impresson, I think TO is great and I could not do without it. But as a possible warning to others, be careful when archiving layouts with it.
I'm not sure why this happened or if it's reproducible, but when I tried to archive a copy of my current layout using TO, it completely deleted it. And I mean completely. Not even one of those "undelete" programs could find any trace of it on my hard drives. I've archived layouts before like this but without any problems, so, as I said, I'm not sure what went wrong this time. Maybe the layout was just too big (1256 baseboards/184MB gnd file).
Luckily, my last back-up was a month ago so all is not lost, but it is a shock when you realise you just worked a whole month for nothing. It reminds me of my day job.
In future I will do all back-ups using Windows Explorer!
